Well so much for my weather/earthquake radio alert system...

Darn thing blares every Wends. as a radio check test and nothing today with the real thing...

Maybe no warning for the West coast means no radio transmission, hmmmm the darn thing should be blaring with the usual Wends check by now though...double hmmmm.

If we are talking tidal waves then it is the type of quake that matters most. If the quake was an up/down quake surfs up, if not no Tsunami.

" Wrong. It's not for us to know the time; as in year, month, day; but we will know the season. Read your bible."

Jesus also warns to stay alert and watch for the signs so you aren't caught by suprise.

"It cannot happen until the Great Revolt has taken place and the Rebel, the Lost One, has appeared."

2 Thess.2:3

I guess that's why the Iranians are trying to blow up a big chunk of the ME- to make the great Pumpkin Mahdi appear-the rebel.

They are too busy trying to drum up cash so they can "save" peple in Dafur anyways. It hasn't come to the attention until now for some reason. Too busy stashing money from the last Tsunami and oil for rotting food scam.

I just heard on the radio...a Tsunami warning was issued but rescinded? Maybe someone can doublecheck/verify that.

Yes. The tsunami warning has been canceled for all areas. The West Coast Bulletin is in post 115. Here's the Pacific bulletin. Pago Pago, American Samoa saw a 1/2 foot-1 foot wave, depending on which bulletin has the most recent info:

TSUNAMI BULLETIN NUMBER 003
PACIFIC TSUNAMI WARNING CENTER/NOAA/NWS
ISSUED AT 1736Z 03 MAY 2006

THIS BULLETIN IS FOR ALL AREAS OF THE PACIFIC BASIN EXCEPT
ALASKA - BRITISH COLUMBIA - WASHINGTON - OREGON - CALIFORNIA.

... TSUNAMI WARNING CANCELLATION ...

THE TSUNAMI WARNING IS CANCELLED FOR ALL COASTAL AREAS AND ISLANDS
IN THE PACIFIC OUTSIDE OF ALASKA - BRITISH COLOMBIA - WASHINGTON -
OREGON - CALIFORNIA. THOSE AREAS SHOULD REFER TO MESSAGES FROM THE
WEST COAST AND ALASKA TSUNAMI WARNING CENTER.

AN EARTHQUAKE HAS OCCURRED WITH THESE PRELIMINARY PARAMETERS

ORIGIN TIME - 1527Z 03 MAY 2006
COORDINATES - 19.9 SOUTH 174.2 WEST
LOCATION - TONGA ISLANDS
MAGNITUDE - 7.8

MEASUREMENTS OR REPORTS OF TSUNAMI WAVE ACTIVITY

GAUGE LOCATION LAT LON TIME AMPL PER

----- ------ ----- ------ -----
PAGO PAGO 14.3S 170.7W 1636Z 0.15M 24MIN
NIUE 19.1S 169.9W 1603Z 0.21M 10MIN

TIME - TIME OF THE MEASUREMENT
AMPL - AMPLITUDE IN METERS FROM MIDDLE TO CREST OR MIDDLE
TO TROUGH OR HALF OF THE CREST TO TROUGH
PER - PERIOD OF TIME FROM ONE WAVE CREST TO THE NEXT

EVALUATION

SEA LEVEL READINGS INDICATE A TSUNAMI WAS GENERATED. IT MAY HAVE
BEEN DESTRUCTIVE ALONG COASTS NEAR THE EARTHQUAKE EPICENTER. FOR
THOSE AREAS - WHEN NO MAJOR WAVES ARE OBSERVED FOR TWO HOURS
AFTER THE ESTIMATED TIME OF ARRIVAL OR DAMAGING WAVES HAVE NOT
OCCURRED FOR AT LEAST TWO HOURS THEN LOCAL AUTHORITIES CAN ASSUME
THE THREAT IS PASSED. DANGER TO BOATS AND COASTAL STRUCTURES CAN
CONTINUE FOR SEVERAL HOURS DUE TO RAPID CURRENTS. AS LOCAL
CONDITIONS CAN CAUSE A WIDE VARIATION IN TSUNAMI WAVE ACTION THE
ALL CLEAR DETERMINATION MUST BE MADE BY LOCAL AUTHORITIES.

NO TSUNAMI THREAT EXISTS FOR OTHER COASTAL AREAS IN THE PACIFIC
ALTHOUGH SOME OTHER AREAS MAY EXPERIENCE SMALL SEA LEVEL CHANGES.
THE TSUNAMI WARNING IS CANCELLED.

THIS WILL BE THE FINAL BULLETIN ISSUED FOR THIS EVENT UNLESS
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BECOMES AVAILABLE.

THE WEST COAST/ALASKA TSUNAMI WARNING CENTER WILL ISSUE BULLETINS
FOR ALASKA - BRITISH COLUMBIA - WASHINGTON - OREGON - CALIFORNIA.

"This book is written by E.C.S.Leavenworth. It's based on the interpretations accepted by most major churches. It certainly isn't the only interpretation. But it is pretty interesting, it takes events from the last 100 or so years and does a good job of showing where we are according to the prophacy timeline."




OK. I don't think I'll bother, though. I find the ever-present focus on the end of existence to be a waste of time, frankly.
